What the hell happened to Aliens: Colonial Marines? - General

I laugh at people blaming this on consoles Clearly we've seen games like Halo 4 use dynamic lighting and similar assets that have been stripped from this game. Its just bad development, and this is just speaking on the grahpical side of things. The AI is just god awful bad and the animations are total shit.

[QUOTE=Rusty100;39586891]the most i can hope for is that there were some missing files to be added in that add more atmospheric effects and dynamic lighting. i mean they already forgot the exe. it's possible they forgot a few more things too. maybe they even forget higher res textures. i mean, it's a huge stretch and insanely wishful thinking. but they very clearly HAVE those assets from the demo. they exist in some form. maybe they just completely botched the launch but i doubt it[/QUOTE] Nah those demo clips scream pre-rendered to me.

[QUOTE=Scot;39586933]Nah those demo clips scream pre-rendered to me.[/QUOTE] yeah but the thing is if they have the ability to do that in a render, and time enough to fake it, surely they could have put that in the game itself i just don't understand

They were probably past the point of fixing the game by then.

I find it sickening that video game companies can legally make false promises like that and continuously not deliver on them and still pull in profits because of the huge amount of pre-orders

[QUOTE=Scot;39586933]Nah those demo clips scream pre-rendered to me.[/QUOTE] Things like the missing crack in the glass scream development issues. It's a decal, there's no way it was taken out for performance reasons. There are things that are worse for no reason, some bungle must have happened that wasn't planned.

[QUOTE=Killuah;39586083]THings are supposed to get BETTEr from WIP not worse, what the fuck is your point? [editline]14th February 2013[/editline] I think you should get your priorities straight because right now you sound like a really fucking spoiled first-world rich kid that can't appreciate what it has.[/QUOTE] We all know its the truth and I'm not even going to sugar coat it to avoid dumbs The current consoles are old and outdated and are just dragging the industry behind, simple as I'm not even going to buy the new Xbox, I'm just excited its coming out so we don't have to deal with the old one and its shitty ports anymore

[QUOTE=KlaseR;39581408]It's sad this game didn't turn out to be as good as everyone hoped. The videogame world needs some valid predator and alien games goddamnit.[/QUOTE] Well you could just play Aliens Vs Predator instead :v:
